Our LATE GUESTS.

Our LATE GUESTS.
Yesterday morning all woke refresh
ed, to look out with delighted eyes upon
the glorious panorama. that lay spread
beneath and around the Battery Park
Hotel. There were none so insensible 10
the prodigality of natural beauty that did
not feast upon it with enraptured senses.
If beautiful to those who see j. every day
and who still find some new feature to
observe and admire, what must it have
been in all the glory of an early summer
mornings light, to those who beheld it
for the first time.
After partaking of breakfast, the
association met iH one of the parlors of
the hotel, under call of President Ed
ridge. At this meeting, a series of resolu-
tions, offered by Mr.. Mum of the New
bern Journal, were adopted, expressive
ofthe sense of the association at the cor.
dial reception extended by the citizens
of Asheville, and of the intense enjoy
ment of the visit of its members to this
city. We were not furnished with copy
OF The resolutions. The meeting was
then adjourned sine de, to assemble next
year at a point to be selected by tie
executive committee
Nearly all the party left, homeward
bound, on tie one. o'clock train for Sails
bury. We are proud to say that each
and every member carried with him the
good will and respect of every one with
whom he came in contact. We did not
anticipate otherwise; but there are some
i'll natured enough to allege that the
meetings ofthe associations are occasions
only for frolic aud cxeesses
Our best wishes accompany each and
all to their homes: and we must express
our qualification at having again neen
drawn into the folds of the association oil
which we were one of the founders.

member that coal is the product of
GODS own sunshine and was placed in
the ground, just as the water is in the
channel of the river, for mans use
and benefit, we rebel at the idea
that a combination of men shall be per-
mi ted to make it the instrument of
cruel eXtortion for no other purpose
than the qualification of ayaricious
greed. The mine owners are entitled
to fair profit Oh their coal, but there is
no principle of law, either human or
divine, which can be distorted into
Justification of the wicked conspiracy
which now exists. The consumers are
now at their mercy. The winter season
is upon us and there is no possible way
to break or resist the conspiracy, unless
the national congress could be induced
to interpose in behalf of a suffering pub
lie. This is hope so we'll nigh hope
less that We may as well make up our
minds to endure the eXtortien and to pay
the prices for fuel that the coal baronS
impose. But it ought to serve to remind
us OF the duty of protecting ourselves in
the future. The first duty of the next
state legislature of Minnesota should be
to adopt such a law as we have indi-
Gated, and then every state in the I'M
ion should Immediately follow Min ne
sofas example. And it is just about
what Will be done. By the time the
people of the Northwest are done pay
ing their coal bills this winter, they will
have ample cause to keep the matter
well in mind until the next legislature
assemblies. 1t will not be forgotten.

"A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

Civil Service Commissioners OBERLY
and EDGERToN are at daggers' points
over the question of the rights of de-
partment employees at Washington to
become members of state political asso-
Citations. Bishop 0BERLY, as he de-
lights to call himself, is never happier
than when engaged in some sort of a
controversy, and his recent pronun-
ciamento to the effect that the clerks in
government employ were prohibited
from becoming members of such organ
izations has drawn down upon his head
maledictions from Democrats and Re
publicans alike. To the credit, how
ever, of his courtly associate, Commits
Sioner EDGERToN, the edge is taken off
the bishops instrument by the deelara-
ton that the civil service commission
has no business to intefere with clerk
after he has passed the necessary eX-
animation to fit him for his position.
Commissioner EDGERToN holds. and
it is sound sense, too, that the fact of a
man entering the governments employ
does not of necessity imply that he must
forfeit all rights as voter and free
agent, and hence he is at perfect liberty
to join political association if he sees
fit. And thus the great political factor
is divided against itself and the clerks
can take either horn of the dilemma.

NEEDS ADJUSTING.

A good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches. The public testimo-
NAL OF the esteem in which the late Rev.
ROBERT SMITH was held by the better
class of people i'll this city is surely
sweet incense to the good mans MEM
DRY. 4 man whose unselfish devotion
to the cause of humanity was so beauti-
fully eXemplified as that of ROBERT
SMITH merits public recognition. But
somehow one cannot help feeling that
1t would be better if there could be a
more equable distribution of public ap-
probation of these good men-that is, if
there could be more of it during the
lifetime of the individual so
much of it would not be required
after his death. This is said without
reference to Mr.. SMITHS case. But it
so often happens that these good, I'M
selfish men. whose memories we prize
so dearly after they have left US, had a
mighty tough time going through
life. and often had to ascend
marvelouSly steep places without
a helping hand from us when it
could have been extended. There have
been true, noble men who have I'M
selfishly devoted their lives to doing
good to others who had a hard struggle
TO keep poverty from their own doors
while they were engaged in the work of
benefiting mankind. There have been
times in the lives of such men when the
present of Il ton of coal OF a barrel of
potatoes would have been more grateful
than all the post mortem eulogiums
that could be delivered. The public
testimonials are all right, but the pri-
Yate benefactions should not be omitted.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Hon. JOHN G. CARLISLE, of Ken
lucky, evidently does not expect an adj
verse report upon his seat in congress
for, according to adyiceS from his
friends, he is at present busily engaged
in an examination of the membership of
the lower branch Of the national legiS-
lature for the Fiftieth congress with a
view to familiarizing himself with the
qualifications of the representatives for
service on the various committees. New
members will be a feature of the next
house OF representatives, and many of
them who are ambitious to win their
spurs speedily in the political arena
will find no better breaking-in process
than in the committee rooms, where
they can make themselves regulations
much quicker than by plunging into de-
bates upon the floor.
Of the chairmen of the standing COM
mittees of the last congress, Hon.
HENRY G. TURNER, of the elections
committee, is reelected; Hon. r. O..
MILLS was second on the ways and
means committee, and he is reelected;

not likely that all the gentle

given will be promoted to the chair

still their past services will have con-
siderable weight when the speaker of

Rev. Torrey to the Rescue.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Rev. r. A.
Torrey, Of Minneapolis, was recently in
Washington, and his visit recalled his
earlier days. Ten years ago he was
student in Yale theological seminary.
and very pOpular'gentleman with his
fellow theOlOgueS. One of the students
there was very young man who had
lost his leg by amputation at the hip.
He ordinarily used crutches, but occa-
Sionally used cork leg about the halls
and rooms of the institution. But one
Sunday morning the crippled student
put On his cork leg, went down stairs.
and started across the park on his way
to breakfast. 1t had rained, showed
and sleeted during the night, and it was
very lmprudent for the one-legged man
to have undertaken to go out thus
accOutTed. He was accompanied by
a smaller man than himself who could
not be of any assistance to him in the
event of trouble. Just as they were
crossing College street the cork leg
twisted and slipped, and the unfortu-
nate young man made frantic efforts to
save himself. while his companion
vainly endeayored to assist him in re-
covering his equilibrium. He was in
Imminent danger of a serious fall and
injury, when along came Torrey. fairly
flying across the street, just in the nick
Of time. He was an athletic young
man. strong and active, and he slid like
a base ballist huStling to second base,
but got under the falling man just in
time to save him. Torrey caught him
in his arms, held him up, assisted in
Strengthening the artificial leg, and then
escorted him safely down town and
back again. On a number of occasions
Torrey managed to make himself useful
to his friends, just as he is now laboring
for the welfare of others in Minneapolis.

POSTAL ACCOUNTS.
Important Change in the Method
of Keeping Them.

Important Change in the Method
of Keeping Them.
To the Editor Of the Globe.
1t is not known to the general public
that an important change has recently
been made in the methods for keeping,
stating and auditing postal accounts.
Only those officials who are Immediately
connected with this branch of the GOV
eminent service are as yet cOgnizant of
its operations, or able to conjecture its
promised benefits.
The pOStoffice department, for the first
time in its history, has now provided a
a complete and comprehensive form of
statement for the rendring of its quar-
terly accounts.
Anomalous as it may seem, only a
bungling, fragmentary, incomplete
thing has heretofore been used by the
horde of officials called DoStmaSters,
derstoOd, except by few of the numer-
GUS other officials through whose hands
1t passed for subsequent treatment.
A system for accounting, such as it
entailed, could not fail to cause misun-
derstanding, delay, heavy expense and
losses.
Under the present arrangement SIM
plificatiOn almost beyond conception as
compared with former methods, has
been made; officials can all now under
stand their work and duty, the eXamin-
alton and adjustment of accounts will
be greatly fastened, and large sums of
money undoubtedly saved to the gov.
eminent.
All these things have been made
known to the head officials of previous
administrations, but individual interests,
together with Discrimination to reduce
the force and expenses. have prevented
the remedy from being applied to this
public ulcer.
The credit belongs to Minnesota for
having projected and urged this bene-
fetal movement from its inception to
contamination, and it is proper that it
should be claimed.
Her busy and enterprising people
find time to look after and encou1 age
the promotion of the public welfare,
whether delving in its fertile soil, har-
Messing its mighty waters to the wheels
of industry, pushing its trade and COM
merce to the remOtest borders, or I'M
folding the cryptograms concealed for
ages in the most subtle productions of
the human mind. Truly, d. w.
